Due to negligence of junior officers of State Hajj Committee, the committee has lost Rs. 40 lakh. In the wake of state bifurcation the department of finance is said to have warned all the departments and institutions that that all the accounts linked with Finance Department will be frozen on May 30 and the amount deposited in it will go back to government treasury.
After the notice given by Finance department many institutions shifted their amount from their PD accounts linked with finance department to another account so that the amount is prevented from going back to government treasury. However despite repeated reminders by Special Officer Hajj Committee Prof. S A Shukoor, his juniors took no action, as a result PD account of Hajj Committee was frozen and Rs. 40 lakh deposited in it was transferred to government treasury. Thus Hajj Committee’s account has zero balance now.
